Portobello Print and Map Shop
Art, European Travel, Shopping on TravelWe at Scenic Runway first heard of the Portobello Print and Map Shop located within the Portobello Road Market in the Notting Hill section of London by watching The Getaway created by Anthony Bourdain. The Getaway follows travel-loving celebrities as they travel to their favorite cities around the world. Within this episode featuring Rashida Jones, Rashida visits the Portobello Print and Map Shop and purchased original sheet music from 1480 as a birthday gift for her father Quincy Jones.
I discovered that the Portobello Print and Map Shop did not sell reproductions and does not sell online. As a result, I knew I had to stop by while in London. During my visit to this quaint shop, I purchased a genuine antique engraving (Dated: 1850) which was truly a unique travel purchase!
